Date Night Picks

Olivia Wilde directs and stars in The Invite, a sharp, sparkling comedy-drama about a marriage on thin ice and a dinner with the enigmatic neighbors that tips somewhere no one planned. With Seth Rogen, Edward Norton, and Penélope Cruz in the mix, it is flirtatious, funny, and just dangerous enough to keep you both leaning in. At 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.5 on IMDb, it is the rare date film that is a blast to argue about afterward.

Michael Showalter's Verity is a sleek, seductive mystery-thriller: a ghostwriter hired by a bestselling author stumbles onto private notes that pull her into something lethal. Dakota Johnson, Anne Hathaway, and Josh Hartnett bring real glamour and simmering tension to a story built on whispered secrets and who to believe. Screenings are plentiful this week, so settle on a time, then let it unspool and see if you two read the truth the same way.
